Welcome to Glacier National Park! |
Every Glacier National Park vacation must have a picture of Glacier National Park's entrance sign. This photograph is of my girlfriend and I at Glacier National Park's entrance.
As you can tell, we're in our pajamas (the picture was actually taken at the end of our trip, not the beginning). This is at St. Mary's entrance to Glacier National Park.
It was taken on a tripod with my dSLR so that we could make this Glacier National Park picture perfect.

Picture near Many Glacier Hotel |
This Glacier National Park photograph is taken on the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake.
I've always been a fan of unique pictures and I love how you can see the reflection of Swiftcurrent Lake and the mountain in my sunglasses.

Florence Falls - What a beautiful natural waterfall |
This natural waterfall picture is of Florence Falls, a waterfall off the Gunsight Trail in Glacier National Park. It was early season (late June), so the snow melt made the waterfall intense!
You could hear the water rushing down the rocks from about a mile away. This picture encapsulates the feeling this scene gave us perfectly.

My best Wild Goose Island picture |
This photograph is of Wild Goose Island, Glacier National Park's most photographed location. Allyson and I woke up early and we spent a solid hour at Wild Goose Island lookout so that I could perfect this picture.
I think I took more photos of Allyson's back while in Glacier than of our faces, but it still makes for a great Glacier picture.

Iceberg Lake - One of Glacier National Park's best hikes |
Iceberg Lake is one of Glacier National Park's best (and most popular) hiking trails.
It's in the Many Glacier region, so wildlife is abundant (we saw a Grizzly Bear on this hike!) and the lake is super cool with icebergs floating in it.
If you take a Glacier National Park vacation, you have to hike Iceberg Lake. It's easy enough for the entire family and incredibly rewarding

Lake McDonald Lodge |
When I had my National Park job, I worked in Lake McDonald Lodge. This picture of Lake McDonald Lodge was taken on my most recent trip with a dSLR.
The reflection in the sign, lodge in the distance, and sun peeking through the trees makes this one of my ten best Glacier National Park pictures.

A photo of kayakers in Lake McDonald |
This picture of two kayakers in Lake McDonald was taken on the first night of my most recent Glacier National Park vacation.
Glacier National Park campgrounds fill up fast, so camping can be difficult. If you find a great campsite, keep it for a few days. This picture was taken about ten feet away of one of the best Glacier National Park camping spots.
Very peaceful way to end the evening.

One of the best images of mountain goats |
This mountain goat pic was taken on the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park. One of the best mountain goat images I've ever taken (or seen). Too bad it wasn't taken on my dSLR.
Have any of these Glacier National Park photos taken your breath away yet? If this one didn't, then none will! Boulder Pass Pit Toilet View
One of Glacier National Park's best hikes
Boulder Pass is in one of the most remote corners of Glacier National Park. It's wilderness and beauty is unmatched.
Backpacker Magazine did a section on views from pit toilets and ranked the view from Boulder Pass' pit toilet as number one. Can you blame them?
The pit toilet is on the left hand side to the right of the big boulder. What a view!

Grizzly Bear stares us down |
Okay, not the best Grizzly Bear photo--but really, do you want to get any closer? I know we didn't!
We saw this Grizzly Bear on Iceberg Lake trail in Glacier National Park. We walked parallel to him for about 15 minutes, camera flashing all the while.
I so wish I brought the longer lens so that I could get a better picture of this Grizzly Bear's face, but oh well. Pretty cool photo of a Grizzly Bear anyway.
